The defense of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act no doubt will be one of the major story lines from the Democratic National Convention this week in Charlotte, N.C. As we did with the Republican National Convention last week from Tampa, Fla., Modern Healthcare will have a team in Charlotte to cover the developments.

Our staff will be live tweeting from Charlotte using the Twitter hashtag #MHDNC12. They'll also be filing daily stories and video reports and interviews from the convention that will run on our website and in our daily newsletters.

You can find all of the coverage at modernhealthcare.com/2012election. We'll be telling you what happened and how what happened may ultimately affect your healthcare organization or corporation.
